 * Keep Felienne Hermans satisfied criteria for WP:NACADEMIC. I have added additional information / sources about awards (#2) and impact outside acedemics (#7).
 * Update: Having checked the procedure on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Proposed_deletion I have removed the tag proposing for deletion as described under "Objecting". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mlvandijk (talk • contribs) 04:17, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Update: Multiple sources added. Hermans has been covered in just about every Dutch national newspaper as well as several international papers including the Financial Times.(talk05:57, 27 April 2019 (UTC))

Response: It certainly looks better now. Before it read a lot like a cv. It still does, for example "Hermans is active with DigiLeerkracht, the computational thinking teaching by Future.nl, and teaches programming, including one day a week at the Lyceum Kralingen in Rotterdam. In addition, Hermans is a referee at the FIRST LEGO League, where children build a robot from LEGO.". I would argue that her research on spreadsheets is interesting, relevant, and original, while the enumeration of her regular teaching activities, is not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edxpedia (talk • contribs) 19:56, 29 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you; I'm glad you find the article improved. The listed teaching activities seem to be outside of her work as a university professor, and are related to her interest and research in programming education; perhaps this could be clarified/elaborated. The research on Excel/spreadsheets could be elaborated as well. (talk13:38, 7 May 2019 (UTC))
